Re: Better Battaries for Driver Pratice
Taking 3 hours to recharge a battery seems way too long. Also, what voltage are you running your batteries down to?
We practice 5 days a week for an average of 4 hours a day. When we practice we try to never let the battery drop below 12.0V at idle. This is usually 1-3 matches depending on the robot and how much power draw their is during a match. By the time we've gone through all 6 batteries, the first battery is ready to go again. We've also found that by doing this we can actually recondition the battery and keep all of the batteries between 12.8 and 13.1V at idle.
